Almond Milk Cheat

Blender

Tablespoon Almond Meal

Water

Blend until smooth


Shazzam! Almond milk in a jiffy! Great for those lactose intolerant who ran out of milk! Only a little chokey, i believe in drinking it all whole and mushy anyway. Big deal! If you don't like it, simply let it sit then pour but not all of it leave the last bits of "pulp".

or pour through a sieve.

:)

Good day!

This tasted quite delicious, i must perfect it though...

it never quite set as much as i liked, but it was still fun
basically just:
Shredded coconut, about a cup
water
1 tbsp gelatin and
cocoa 2 tbsp
maybe some sugar...

that's it. :)

I need to increase the gelatin, using vegan agar agar or even a packet of jelly, though i doubt they make coconut, vanilla or chocolate flavoured ones...
I could use corn starch if i cooked it, but that would rid of nutrients. I need a bit more cocoa perhaps...
The blender formed clusters of coconut butter! Oh yum! Clusters of super sweet concentrated coconut goodness! This will be a hit if i perfect it!

I'm getting into this vegan raw vibe here!

Beetroot Cake

Spray oil
200g almost a can of beetroot
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup hot water
1 cup, firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly whisked
1/2 cup rice or coconut milk
1/4 cup light tasting oil or coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 cups self-raising GF flour, sifted

Cardamom frosting

1/4 cup pure icing sugar, sifted
Pinch of ground cardamom
4 1/2 tsp Rice milk
Sprinkle with chocolate ants!


Process the beetroot in a blender or food processor. Combine dry ingredients first, then wet. Pour in a sprayed cake tin and bake at 180 for about an hour until a knife comes out clean. Once out and cooled you can ice it! :)

Very tasty, cannot, CANNOT taste the beetroot. It is slightly dry so I may consider adding the whole tin next time and perhaps even the juice...maybe.

Carrot gives gluten free foods, structure, moisture bounce and hold!
I wonder if it would do that for hair?....

pumpkin chicken risotto

I threw up after this, but don't let that repel you! I believe it was from not cooking the chicken well enough, i was hungry and impatient....cook your chicken well folks!

Fry a pumpkin in oil (butternut) for 10 minutes.
add a chopped leek, 2 garlic cloves and half an onion. Fry. Stir. 5 mins.

Brown some chicken WELL.....lol. Or puke your guts out later...

Brown some bacon.

Add 1 c arborio rice. Stir. Add 4 c of stock slowly.
cover and stir occasionally. 30 minutes, add 2 tbsp basil and stir.

Add a squeeze of lemon and nutritional yeast or cheese over the top. :)

enjoy...and don't throw up later....because it doesn't look as pretty on the way out, and btw, puking chicken out your nose is not fun.

Green Smoothies


I find these are a great way of eating my daily allowance of fruit and veg! Superfood Kick!

Handful of greens, ground linseed and pepitas and sunflower(LPS), supplements and fruits! If its acidic watery fruits add water(like melons and pears), if it's creamier like berries, yogurt, almonds and avo, add rice milk!

I find that the linseed, or something about these smoothies help my ibs. (unless its the new supplements I've been on?
